Masterfully concise with a powerful turn at the end.

And I absolutely love the work done by the scientific definition in the fourth stanza.

Lovely poem. The river metaphor is perfect!

Love how the poem builds from the literal to turn to the metaphor, and how it avoids over explaining itself

This is such a strong poem in such a short amount of words. The metaphor is beautiful!

I love brevity.

This poem exemplifies its mastery.

In just a few stanzas Cole Pragides takes us on a scenic ride, makes a sharp turn and arrives at an ideal destination.
